ponsaelius Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Craig Gardner is up there, or even better, than Shola at pens. He's about as shit a footballer as Shola too. Steady on, man. Terrible player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 In Holland? No one is getting impressed by beating up the scrubs in the CONCACAF. Done f*ck all this season and did f*ck all when he was in England before, he's just not very good. It's alright mate, you're allowed to say "This is one player I don't know much about" from time to time. I know how much it must pain you. He's doing far more for Sunderland than Cisse is doing for us this season. Papiss Cisse - Games 4, Goals 0, Assists 1, Shots 12 Jozy Altidore - Games 3, Goals 0, Assists 0, Shots 7 Aye, FAR more.

Deuce Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Altidore has a goal in cup play. He's looked far more dangerous than Cisse has, despite playing on a worse team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite clear. Toon fan logic: "He's a Yank who plays for Sunderland and wasn't very good for Hull 4 years ago. He's shit and I hate him."

Watching him in league play, he moves better than Cisse, he holds-up play better than Cisse, and he makes better passes than Cisse. Cisse is not playing well this season.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Don't hate him at all.... but he's shown nothing in England in both spells so far to suggest he's any good. I'll be more than happy to eat the humble pie if he comes good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Lets be honest he's probably going to be more Afonso Alves/Mido than van Nistelrooy/Luis Suarez. Scouts need to be a lot more careful with these Eredivisie strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 He's a decent striker, their second best by some distance I just hope he doesn't do it for them, and is mentally destroyed by them before the season is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouts need to be a lot more careful with these Eredivisie strikers. We'll see I suppose. I have no illusions about him being a world beater, because he's not. But he's clearly not a bad player, as many here say he is. Most of whom are basing their judgments on how he played for Hull, as a 19-year old, and who haven't seen him play since then.

Ashley17 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Let's be honest, we're playing him down because he's playing for sunderland and some are bigging him up because he's American. He's not awful, he's just average. As TT says, Fletcher is miles better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 He's not a bad player. He's an average one. Has no real stand out qualities but is an ok player overall. More use than Shola certainly but definitely overrated by some due to his nationality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 It's most important for me that he continue to play at a high level for the national team. So whatever he needs to do at Sunderland to stay in good form, so be it. Despite not scoring yet in league play, he's still playing well for club and country.

More use than Shola certainly but definitely overrated by some due to his nationality. And underrated by some due to his nationality (and choice of club). It's impossible for many Toon fans to be objective when it comes to Sunderland (and American players). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
